Our Mission
Our Mission is to inspire, empower, and connect people to change their world.
That mission begins at home, on the South Side of Chicago, where we are building the Obama Presidential Center. But it extends to all our work, whether it’s holding leadership training sessions in communities throughout the U.S., bringing local leaders together in countries around the world, working to support the global education of girls, or ensuring young men of color have pathways to opportunity.

Consumer Credit
MFI Credit Solutions began providing credit information to local mortgage banks, brokers and financial institutions in 2003. Since that time, we have expanded to become a nationally recognized provider of credit reporting services, and now have a diverse portfolio of products to support the growing needs of our clients.
Credit reports are an essential part of the lending cycle. Our lenders know that we have developed and maintain strong relationships with all three major credit bureaus, enabling MFI to offer customizable, easy-to-read credit report formats from each. In addition to this, we also offer credit scoring products to help you close more loans, along with fraud prevention and debt monitoring between application and closing.
Choose the credit report that is right for you – single bureau of your choice or request merged credit reports from 2 bureaus or three.
